    Spare wheel hub... usefull?

    I would consider it nice to have but not an absolute necessity. For only a simple bearing failure having a hub already set up would make a change go a lot quicker as no need to drive races out of the existing hub. Not a break the bank item to carry on long hauls so it may be worth it just for...

    New pistol for carry

    My Mod 37 from the 70's met the same fate. Since our duty weapons were 38 spl it was nice to use the same ammo. A few years before the switch to 40s they switched to 110gr +p and officially stopped qualifying back up weapons.

    1975 Johnson 115 starter motor

    I wonder why the high price. Here in US the Chinese ones go for about 65 and the Sierra around 100 dollars.

    NooB Help With Crestliner Angler 14

    The HIN (Hull Identification Number) should be outside on the left side of the transom. This differs from the state registration numbers stuck on the bow. Think of it as the difference between the VIN and the license plate number on a vehicle. Until you get all the paperwork together for a...

    Odd message on my MacBook Air laptop

    Needed a heavier tractor.

    A couple of good lessons here. I never try to push or even steady any tree bigger than about 4" diameter. If if do have to make certain it falls exactly where I want it I will rope it and pull with my skid steer or use a come along. When you work by yourself it may take more time but at least...

    Trolling motor pivot pin

    I would just chuck it in the lathe and knul one end. You could just lay it on a hard surface and put a couple of punch marks around one end and reinsert it all the way, smooth end first, and tap it in all way. A common way to repair what should be an interference fit. Be certain the center...

    New pistol for carry

    I am old enough to remember the old days. Cast my own 148 gr wadcutters from scrap lead and wheel weights, around 2300 rounds per $8 pound of Bullseye. Primers at $5/1000 were the most expensive part.

    Restoring my drive bell housing

    I 'm with Poconojoe on the title. The first thing I thought was the 50 year old helmet still in my shop somewhere must have some value if someone is restoring one. Should have kept the old Indian Chief and thrown the helmet away. Would be dollars ahead today.

    New pistol for carry

    A Mod 37 Airweight was my back up piece for many years. Loved it and when we would qualify both guns my score would only be a few points lower than with my 4" issue sidearm. It was also my personal carry piece until my present wife claimed it as her purse gun. Been looking at several small...

    Is on deck fuel tank legal?

    Even if legal to operate with a tank change I could see a problem if involved it some sort of accident and being sued. The first thing the plaintiff's attorney will ask is the installation meet all requirements of ABYC H-24 pertaining to installation of gasoline fuel systems.
